Matakerepō

Matakerepō je božica iz maorske mitologije. Ona je slijepa starica povezana sa božicom groma Whaitiri.

Matakerepin potomak Tāwhaki i njegov rob su se uputili na putovanje do neba, gdje živi Matakerepō. Kad ga je čula kako prilazi, upitala ga je kamo ide. On joj je rekao da traži svoju kćer. Matakerepō mu reče da pričeka jutro. Tāwhakijev rob pripremi obrok. Tom je hranom oslobodio božicu sljepoće. U mnogim maorskim pričama se spominje slijepa starica, primjerice Whaitiri. U jednoj drugoj priči starica se zove Ruahine-mata-morari – "Slijepa starica". Matakerepō je ponekad poistovjećena sa Whaitiri, iako su te dvije božice drugdje razdvojene.
